a nuisance. BS 5440: Part 1 recommends that care is
taken when siting terminals in relation to
boundaries.
3. 600mm minimum clearance from a skylight to a
vertical flue.
4. Vertical flue clearance, 500mm to non-combustible
building material, and 1,500mm clearance to
combustible building material.
5. The dimension below eaves, gutters, pipes and
drains can be reduced to 25mm, as long as the flue
terminal is extended to clear any overhang. Any
external flue joints must be sealed with a suitable
silicon sealant.
6. 500mm clearance to any vertical structure on a roof,
600mm to room sealed flue or 1,500mm to an open

of a light well due to the build up of combustion
products.
10. 2,000mm below a Velux window, 600mm above or
to either side of the Velux window.
11. 200mm below eaves and 75 mm below gutters,
